Dozens of dump truck drivers from across New England roared through a small Georgetown neighborhood yesterday to celebrate a brave little boy’s victory over liver cancer after his overjoyed mother turned to social media in the hopes of arranging a special moment for her son.

Four-year-old Tommy Cook of Georgetown was diagnosed in March with hepablastoma, a rare disease afflicting fewer than one in a million children worldwide. A month later, he received a liver transplant and completed his final round of chemotherapy in August at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

“His prognosis at the beginning was poor,” Tommy’s mother, Kate Cook, told the Herald. “We’re definitely grateful. We were scared at first that we were going to lose him. At the beginning, it is very unknown especially when you’re waiting on the list for a transplant. It’s torture.”

In the hopes of celebrating her son’s miraculous recovery, Kate Cook put out a call on Facebook for a dump truck to drive past their home.

The response, she said, was beyond anything she could have ever imagined.

The rumbling parade of 50 trucks, including fire trucks and ambulances from Georgetown, Groveland, Topsfield and Boxford, lined up on Farm Lane yesterday to give Tommy the surprise of a lifetime. Commercial drivers from as far away as Maine and Vermont took time out of their Saturdays to participate.

Even Blades, the Boston Bruins mascot, made a special appearance.

The outpouring of support was just the latest boost from the community since Tommy was first diagnosed. Over the past few months, Kate Cook said neighbors decorated their mailboxes with blue ribbons in honor of her son and delivered hot meals to their doorstep every night.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Cathy Murphy, Tommy’s grandmother. “The moment that child was diagnosed, this whole community came together. I’m happy this day is here. In the beginning, we didn’t think it would come. We thought we’d lose him. He’s a fighter.”

And though many of them took time out of their weekends to bring a smile to Tommy’s face, the truckers said they wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else.

“Children get to anyone’s heartstring,” said Jay Meyer, 55, of Putney, Vt., who drove three hours in a special pink fire truck. “I just want to see him smile.”

Bill Ricker, of Georgetown-based Sam’s Transportation, encouraged many of his drivers to take part.

“It’s a big thing,” he said. “I want to see a smile on the kid’s face.”

The convoy bringing her family love and well wishes, Kate Cook said, was beyond her wildest dreams.

“It is unbelievable how many people came out,” she said. “It was far more than we ever expected. It was overwhelming for everybody.”
